Marco's Lament
As if it wasn't bad enough,
me having to save the world.
With a jock, a bird, an alien
and psycho Xena-girl
Enviro-chick and me myself,
(the sane, good looking one)
when the hell will I find the time
to get this paper done?
It not like I can tell them why
my grades begin to fall.
'Yeah, I didn't do the project.
I was fighting bad-guys at the mall.'
It's not my fault my marks are slipping,
I just don't have the time!
But I can't explain exactly why,
And that's anything but fine.
Yesterday, we had to go
down to Zone 91.
To find out why the Yeerks were there,
it wasn't really fun.
And now I'm back to school again,
without my work in hand.
The paper's due tomorrow,
time's running out,
like sand.
I didn't ask to save the world,
my life was always 'hit or miss.'
Like I didn't have enough on my mind!
Why do I have to do this?
